Why can't i download shows from ABC.COM i'm not in the US?

Answer 1

you can't d/l shows from ABC.com, you can just watch them online for free...and the reason why you can't is because you're not from the US... there is something called contracts, and major corporations are bound by these including ABC.
they most likely have a contract with the local broadcasting network in your country, and therefore cannot release shows that have not yet aired in your country online...i don't know how the internet detects that you're not from the US, but my suggestion is that you just d/l episodes via torrent sites.

When I watch episodes for free on ABC.com, it doesn't ask me for an email address or zip code or any information at all...it just automatically brings up the shows and video player... i guess there is some type of firewall in countries outside the US which prevents ya'll from viewing content that's only available to US residents...makes sense

Answer 2

Ok, I am not positive about ABC,however this did work for me, I had an email address that gave away my country, however my oh so sweet buddy gave me the idea, and he's an employee of the Internet provider lol,ok, if you have an email that ends in ca, this is likely the address or if you have given them your adress it could also be, what I did, I got a hotmail email, it ends in.com, I lived in the states for many yrs so no problem,I used a friends address,however just put California, use 90025 for zip, if you are paying with a credit card nobody is the wiser,I hope this isn't bad of me,as it isn't being totally honest,but it isn't fair of them to not allow us to watch hope I didn't offend you, and ofcourse hope this helps alittle! Enjoy your shows!!!
Hugs!!!!!!
